Motorola Moto X Play Smartphone - Review. Motorola enters the group. Description of Moto X Force, characteristics, features, price. Moto x force buy Hour of autonomous robot Moto X Style

In the summer of 2013, the Motorola Moto X proudly presented its new creation.

The first collection was small, called xt1052, and later, since 2014, a few more advanced modifications of this device, xt1053, xt1056, xt1058 and xt1060, began to appear on the American market.

New innovations include the ability for buyers to choose their own colors and materials for the body (for example, the back side is made of bamboo or skins) to create their own smartphone when listed on the official Motorola website.

The first devices on the Russian market went on sale in early 2014, and even though the so-called “ready” product was ready, the price of the smartphone ranged from 500-600 dollars.

Contents of delivery

The device is packaged in a white cardboard box with a hinged lid and a bright, colorful Motorola logo.

The kit includes a unique edge adapter that connects two USB outputs, the USB cable itself, documentation, as well as the necessary tool for installing a Nano-SIM card.

The adapter provides 1150 mA and can easily cope with charging two smartphones at once.

Design

The name of Moto X is guessed by Google Nexus. The middle of the upper part of the smartphone houses the speaker, and the front camera is located to the left. At the bottom, closest to the right side of the device, there is a microphone, which is conveniently indicated for receiving voice commands.


The monolithic assembly of the Viconan back panel has a classic rubberized look, the phone fits wonderfully in the hand and does not stick at all.

The rear panel houses the lens of the main camera and the parts to the left of the external speaker, and the parts below the camera contain the logo of the printer. At the very bottom, also a little to the left of the middle, there is another microphone for noise reduction.



The upper end looks a little thicker, there is a 3.5 mm socket. The bottom end is symmetrical to the top and houses the Micro-USB port.

On the left side panel there is a locking button and a thickness adjustment wheel. In the middle of the right side panel there is a hanging tray for a Nano-SIM card.

Telephone collections are very useful and reliable. The American flagship sits comfortably in the hand and can be manually operated with one hand.


screen

The Moto X screen has a display diagonal of 4.7 inches with an HD resolution of 720x1280. The display of thefts is based on Corning Gorilla Glass 3 technology, so it is virtually impossible to avoid any kind of scum when wearing devices in a mess with rubbish and keys.

The screen itself has an effective anti-glare filter, like the ones found on Google Nexus 7. The screen also boasts an oleophobic grease-repellent coating.

The transfer to the color is wonderful, just like I’ll look around. Under direct sleepy changes, the picture loses its visibility and intensity.

cameras

The front 2 MP camera of the device has a separate size of 1920x1080.

The 10 MP main camera has a list of necessary options, such as HDR, camera adjustment, manual focus, macro photography and panoramic photography.

Options can be clicked on the display left-to-right, in the turn-out you can click on the gallery with pictures. The movement up and down on the display indicates an increase in the zoom of the photo.

Autofocus works best in automatic mode. Varto means to finish the nasty photographs at night.

In general, the images come out rich and with good sharpness. It would be difficult to call the camera particularly impressive, but it definitely deserves the title of “well-balanced.”

Spalakh also deserves praise. The ability to record video includes basic and advanced modes, the maximum resolution is 1080p.

battery

The battery is a 2200 mAg lithium-ion battery, which is unknown, since the Moto X is launched in a monolithic design. In case of average demand, the smartphone will last for 2-3 days.

In the video watch mode up to 8 years, in the 3D games mode up to 4 years. It’s nice that the battery doesn’t allow the spark plugs to heat up too much during the start of volumetric add-ons.

Software security

The device initially operates under the control of Android OS 4.2.2, which means that the device is automatically updated to optimize the current version of the OS (currently Android 4.4.4).

The same concerns the automatic updating of necessary add-ons, just like Google Nexus, the smartphone is one of the most updated in the world of Android.

Moto X is powered by a dual-core Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System (Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro MSM8960T) Krait 300 processor with a frequency of 1.7 GHz, for displaying video and 3D games, it matches a quad-core 400 MHz Opriskoryuvach Adreno 320.

Built-in memory 32GB (16GB version available), slot for MicroSD cards daily. RAM 2 GB. The device is equipped with a processor for all kinds of calculations and robots with touch controls.

There is also another additional processor for sound, noise reduction and, of course, exclusive voice control.

Whenever a customer in the smartphone mode (or turned off) says “Ok Google Now”, the smartphone immediately asks about those that the customer wants.

You can easily work out complex calculations, check the weather, the dollar exchange rate, news, and so on, in which case you can use the usual Russian language to inform the official.

The productivity of the Moto X can easily match that of any competing flagship in late 2014.

Sound, player, radio

As is generally accepted, Motorola's sound is one of the strongest aspects of the device. The external speaker is louder, moreover, the sound is created with a stereo effect and with the presence of nasty low frequencies.

The headphones have a rich sound that will satisfy the most powerful music lover. As a result, several microphones are visible.

Internet

A standard browser copes well in the vastness of the Worldwide Pavutina. The scale is carried out without shading, zavantazhenya sides of the shvidka.

When Google Chrome is updated and ES Explorer is installed, it becomes possible to manually access various video files from one another.

visnovok

The Motorola Moto X is sure to delight any consumer, regardless of age, as it is possible to add a smartphone in an exclusive design to any taste, and the device can easily fit in with all the necessary components of a current smartphone.

Its advantages are a tighter grip that gives speed and smooth operation of any “important” games, a good camera, the fluidity of the robot is significantly optimized, both in the world and on the Internet, wonderful sound characteristics, the ability to “live” spilkuvannya device.

The disadvantages of the device include the lack of an expansion memory slot and high output.

For a snack, watch a couple of videos:


It’s worth a look at the Chinese metal phablet. The main “features” in the Meizu MX5 are clear sound (the audio chip matches each other), an incredibly redesigned Android and a fast processor in general, in addition to igor. In terms of body construction and autonomy, the “Chinese” is inferior to Motorola and Samsung; in terms of strength, it surpasses them; for cameras and display, it is approximately the same.

The main problem of the model is the “crooked” adaptation for Russia, as a result of which the smartphone cannot cope with the vast majority of 4G networks in the region. So as not to get into trouble with “only 3G”, we will not hesitate to verify how crazy the Chinese exotic is with your connection with your operator.

visnovki

*In the voice of Zadornov*. “Get ready - this is going to be a wonderful phrase.” And the whole point to the right is that the gloomy results of the Moto X Play in benchmarks did not in any way indicate enmity towards our hero. The reviewer’s word is that only a few people have to work to twirl gadgets in tests, but it may sound unimportant, but in fact, our Motorola is deprived of the smartphone that is accepted from the other side of the world.

Because X Play efficiently provides information every time you remove it; Moreover, its body is seriously distinguished from the vulgar metal and dirty competitors, and at the same time it feels even more expensive. Because the display is clear and there is no need for wasted tickets, and the autonomy is such that you can go with two SIM cards and not worry.

However, it is contraindicated, of course, because the smartphone is very massive, and in gloomy weather and in the dark, the camera works without interruption. The X Play games run hard on average graphics detail, and in the operating system, the lack of effort is compensated for with varying success by the perfectly “polished” Android.

Moto X Play is not a geeky device. This is simply a popular alternative to Korean and Chinese “pop”, one of the most well-made and popular phablets available today. It is recommended to everyone who is looking for a “normal smartphone” with good battery life and a body. And the most powerful Motorola lovers can expect to get their hands on models from Lenovo-Moto - the Chinese promise to introduce such smartphones by the end of 2016.

Check out the Moto X Play colors for additional changeable panels.

The exterior of this smartphone with water-resistant coatings is distinguished by color-changeable panels. At the beginning of the device, seasoned with “clean” Android, there is a large battery and a 21-megapixel camera. All the features of the “mid-range” Moto X Play were evaluated by Vesti.Hi-tech

The legendary Motorola brand has returned to the Russian division after more than a five-day break. Let’s remember that the current trademark of Volodya’s leading smartphone manufacturer is the Lenovo company. Since then, the brand has lost only its graphic logo (especially the letter “M”), so now we are talking about the branding of Moto’s product line. The first devices that Lenovo presented on the Russian market were the Moto X (Play, Style,) and Moto G series smartphones. After testing the flagship, we looked in detail at the device of the middle price segment ("higher middle class") Moto X Play.

Design, ergonomics

One of the “features” of the Moto X Play is the ability to change the appearance of the device based on color-changeable panels. It seems that this smartphone is initially presented only in white or black paint. We were given another option for testing. In this case, in the set with it, the panels were also included to add a “boring” blue and purple color. The plastic base of these panels is coated with a soft-touch coating with an original textured finish. It seems that panels from other apartments will be sold separately.

The main material of the smartphone body is polycarbonate, although some of the structural elements are clearly metal. A special waterproof coating creates a barrier for breezes, drops and wind on a light board, preventing the device from being insured on the outside when immersed in water.

The rear panel of the case is curved in an ergonomic “chevron” shape, so the thickness from the edge to the center increases from 8.9 mm to 10.9 mm. Having taken away the same maximum thickness (10.9 mm), for example, the 5.5-inch body, which has the same dimensions in terms of plan, also showed up slightly larger, the bottom of the Moto X Play is 152.5 x 77.2 mm versus 148 x 75 mm and 170 g vs 169 m

The display of the new product with the on-screen buttons “Back”, “Home” and “Recent Additions” (the icons look like “tricute”, “circle”, “square”) protects the durability of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with oleophobic coating.

On the inserts at the bottom and at the top of the screen there are sections for two speakers - “voice” and “multimedia”, of course.

The left edge of the hull was stripped empty,

And the right edge was occupied by a pressure adjustment rocker and an on/off button. A deep notch was cut on the surface of the remaining one, which prevents the keys from getting tangled together.

The microUSB connector for charging and synchronization with a computer is placed at the bottom end.

The upper end is occupied by a 3.5 mm audio headset connector and a slot, the key for which is included with the smartphone. On a special tray on one side there was space for two subscriber identification modules in the nanoSIM format (3FF), and on the other - for a microSD memory card. The decision is original and clearly demonstrates that there is a wide choice between installing two SIM cards or one “camera” and a memory card as a whole.

The opening for the “hand-held” microphone was placed in the center of the lower part of the remote control panel. In this case, another microphone (for noise reduction) was placed in the upper right corner.

For manual removal of the decorative panel, there is a small visor in the lower left corner.

Under the dark panel there is, unfortunately, an unknown battery.

On the stylish visible plate “under the metal” there was a place for the head camera lens, a light-colored cover and an ergonomic mount (“under the finger”) with the legendary logo in the shape of the letter “M”.

Tactile devices such as soft-touch coating enhance the effect of the ergonomic shape of the body. The device does not move in the valley, and lying in it is done manually and is quite unsuitable for its size; it is controlled with one hand, although there are no additional benefits for which there are no options in the settings.

Screen, camera, sound

Good credit goes to the Moto X Play for its 5.5-inch screen, which has an IPS matrix with a Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels), which is not a record in recent times. Thus, the density of pixels per inch behind the frames of the camera is 403 ppi (theoretically, approximately 401 ppi). Looking at the wide range of images, there is a need to immediately pay attention to the high brightness of the picture, excellent color rendering and contrast.

The rear screen of the smartphone supports multi-touch, and the AntTuTu Tester program confirmed that it can recognize up to ten one-hour touches. The brightness reserve of the smartphone is limited for reading the news in bright light. The level of illumination can be adjusted either manually or through automatic adjustments using the brightness sensor, which works entirely correctly. In the settings, two modes of color display are transferred, one of which - “Native” - displays, as it turns out, realistic colors (read, IPS), the other, “Bright”, gives a more intense color (with an explicit claim This is for transmitting color in AMOLED style) . The protection of the display from minor damage is guaranteed by the cracking of Gorilla Glass 3, and the oleophobic coating applied to it allows you to easily remove fat deposits.

The new smartphone is a “spider chamber” of the flagship, having the same main photo module based on a 21-megapixel Sony IMX230 Exmor RS sensor (optical size 1/2.4 inches). The camera is positioned as ZSL (Zero Shutter Lag). Obviously, there is also a lens with an f / 2.0 aperture and phase shift focusing (PDAF). Subviyny light color, as CCT is called, is necessary for maximum natural color balance. It is clear that the colors of light are characterized by two parameters - CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) and CRI (Color Rendering Index, coefficient, or color transfer index). CST of a light source (for example, light LED) is the temperature of an absolutely black body, which is the “closest” color to that light source. For example, lamps with CCT 2 880-3 200 K have a yellowish (warm) color, with CCT 3 500 K - “neutral white”, with CCT 4 100 K - “cooler white”, and with CCT - 6,500-10,000 K - black color. And the axis of the Index transmitted to the Cri to the Cri is the yak mira step -up stroke of the Op'kta, covered with Jerel Svitla, vid yogo with the Visvitlennim Jerel Svіtla porking In other words, how close to “true” the colors of objects will appear at a given light level. True, the technical characteristics of the Moto X Play do not indicate specific CCT and CRI values ​​for the spacing.

The maximum separation of the main camera is achieved with a classic side-by-side frame (4: 3) and is 5344x4008 pixels (21 MP), and with widescreen (16: 9) - 5344x3006 pixels (16 MP). Attach a photo and you might marvel.

The front camera has a 5-megapixel sensor and a wide-angle fixed-focus lens. The maximum separation of the Selfie with the classic aspect ratio (4: 3) is 2560x1920 pixels (5 MP), and for the wide-screen Gruff (16: 9) - 2560x1440 pixels (3.7 MP).

Both cameras can record videos with Full HD resolution (1920x1080 pixels) at a frame rate of 30 fps. In this case, for multi-fold video (slo-mo), the main camera will provide brightness [Email protected] fps (960x540 pixels), and front - [Email protected] fps (1280x720 pixels).

The “Camera” add-on is expected to have a concise interface. So, to take a photo, just touch the screen in any place. You can change the scale on the viewer by swiping up or down. By simply twisting your wrists, you can start the camera in wake mode or switch between the main and front cameras. To manually adjust the focus and exposure, drag the “violin” on the viewer to the desired location, and with the adjustment element you can easily adjust the brightness of the image. You can manually go to the photo gallery by swiping left. Swipe to the right to reveal an arc-shaped bar with adjustment pictograms. On it you can, for example, select the robot mode, HDR, time-lapse mode, extended or emergency capture, frame format for photos, etc.

Before speech, QR and barcodes are scanned automatically, you just need to point the camera at the relevant object.

The “multimedia” speaker, located in the lower part of the front panel of the smartphone, boasts high volume, as well as equally clear and acceptable sound. Skoda, for the stereo mode it was not possible to connect another speaker. So it’s still easier to hear music through old headphones, so such an accessory (instead of a more hand-held Bluetooth headset) will be useful in the context of a short-hair antenna for a built-in FM tuner.

Filling, productivity

The Moto X Play is based on a platform designed for mid-range devices - Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (MSM8939).

We guess that on such a crystal all 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 cores, manufactured using a 28-nm process, are divided equally into two clusters. One of them is synchronized with a frequency of up to 1.7 GHz, and the other - 1 GHz. Integrated graphics processor Adreno 405 supports DirectX 11.2, OpenGL ES 3.0 and OpenCL 1.2. The Snapdragon 615 architecture, which includes the Hexagon V50 signal processor, implements GPS, drone-free interfaces Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac, as well as a Multi-SIM modem with LTE Cat support. 4 (up to 150 Mbit). The basic configuration of the smartphone is supplemented by 2 GB of RAM type LPDDR3 (800 MHz), which is controlled by a single-channel 32-bit controller.

The Moto X Play hardware platform showed a number of “virtual bugs” collected on synthetic AnTuTu Benchmark tests and Vellamo benchmarks (Multicore, Metal).

For the main adjustments of High Performance and High Quality (productivity at speed and speed) of the Epic Citadel visual test, the results of Moto X Play were completely on par - 57.4 and 54.9 fps, consistent. And the axis for the Ultra High Quality setting, with the same 1920x1080 pixels, the frame rate dropped to the same level (30.6 fps).

On the universal gaming benchmark 3DMark, where the smartphone was tested on the recommended Sling Shot set, the result was 374 points. It’s entirely true that the Moto X Play can handle 3D games (for example, the same race Asphalt 8 or the shooter Dead Trigger 2), but, as a rule, not at maximum settings.

The total number of points earned by the smartphone on the cross-platform benchmark Base Mark OS II totaled 806.

With 16 GB of built-in memory, the smartphone has approximately 11 GB, and the starting memory is close to 10 GB. You can expand the storage space using a microSD / HC / XC memory card with a capacity of up to 128 GB, inserting it on the opposite side of the tray in the combination slot. Once again, it is important to install both subscriber identification modules (in nanoSIM format) on the other side of the tray. In addition, using USB-OTG technology, the Moto X Play can easily be connected to a storage device and a flash drive.

Two subscriber identification modules in nanoSIM format (4FF), which work with one radio module, ensure Dual SIM Dual Standby mode. Two trays in the slot support 4G connections, but only one of the inserted SIM cards will work with an LTE modem (Cat. 4, up to 150 Mbit/s). Otherwise, you will lose your 2G (GSM) connection. The choice of SIM card for voice calls, SMS and mobile data transfer is no longer the prerogative of the customer. In the middle of reaching a significant number of available frequency ranges LTE-FDD Band (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 19, 20, 28) the “Russian trio” appeared - Band 3 (1,800 MHz), Band 7 (2,600 MHz) i Band 20 (800 MHz). Among other drone-free communications, the new product includes Bluetooth 4.0 LE + EDR, 2-band Wi-Fi a / b / g / n (2.4 and 5 GHz), as well as NFC, which is uncharacteristic for the middle class.

For the proper location and navigation, GPS and GLONASS satellite systems are used to confirm the results of the AndroiTS GPS Test test programs. Coordination via Wi-Fi and wireless networks is possible with the support of A-GPS technology.

The “secret of longevity” of the Moto X Play is in an unknown lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 3,630 mAh. Virobnik points out that with the right minds, the battery life of a smartphone can reach two days. The standard battery has two USB ports, which, in principle, allows you to charge two devices at the same time. However, it is not recommended to work with a smartphone, since the process of refilling the battery takes an unusually long time (more than three years) - even though the maximum output power of the adapter becomes a little more than one ampere (1,150 mA). Please note that turbocharging devices must be washed thoroughly. To ensure this, in 15 minutes, replenish the battery with energy sufficient for 8 years of autonomous operation until the end of discharge.

In battery tests on AnTuTu Tester, the device earned 7,304 points. In this case, every year of creating test videos in MP4 format (hardware decoding) and Full HD-capacity at maximum brightness, changing the battery charge to the average by approximately 10% (evaluation interval is 8 years).

The transition to energy saving mode can be programmed in the settings when the battery charge level is 5% or 15%.

Features of software security

Right before the hour of testing the Moto X Play, we upgraded the operating system to the installed version of Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow). The OS interface is quite familiar.

Apparently, there is nothing fancy in “pure” Android, and you can install the necessary software from Google Play yourself. Among the company's installations of add-ons, there is the Moto program, which monitors actions (reaction to the hands of a customer), voice commands (Russian language, unfortunately, is not supported) and notifications that are displayed on the display. In its own way, the “Confidence” add-on allows you to feel safe by informing your family and friends about your destination. And connect the axis to Moto X Play, Motorola accessories (year-old, headphones, etc.) using the Connect program.

Purchases, purchases

The Moto X Play smartphone can without a doubt be sold to the most valuable representatives of the mid-price segment. For the Yandex.Market data, in the great divisions for the new one, at the time of testing, they asked for 29,990 rubles. For just a pittance you can purchase a device under a reputable brand with an original design and clear components. Please note that the color of the new device can be easily and quickly changed, just like the replaceable plastic panels, and the waterproof nanocoating of the body protects the device from dripping drops and breezes. The Moto X Play has a bright 5.5-inch display with a flagship 21-megapixel camera and is powered by a removable battery. Moreover, the hardware filling is seasoned with “clean” Android and brown Motorola add-ons.

Unfortunately, the new product cannot boast of record productivity. In addition, the good autonomy of the smartphone is associated with the difficult process of replacing an important high-capacity battery. Unfortunately, the fast charging adapter is not included in the Moto X Play kit.

Equal to other stylish long-lived Lenovo - - the new smartphone is a little thinner (9.9 mm vs. 10.9 mm), and lighter (169 g vs. 189 g), and initially benefits from the resolution of the main camera (21 MP vs. 13 MP), sacrificing battery capacity (3,630 mA * h versus 5,000 mA * h) and the presence of a fingerprint scanner. At the time of testing, it was on sale on a daily basis. However, Lenovo respects that the Vibe and Moto lines (and, therefore, the models in them) have their own audience.

Pouches look at the Moto X Play smartphone

pros:

  • Changing the color of the body using additional changeable panels
  • bright display
  • 21-megapixel camera stuck in
  • guarantee autonomy
  • Water supply to the body
  • "Clean" Android

cons:

  • Average productivity
  • unknown battery
  • Trivial process of refilling the battery using a standard adapter
  • The package with your smartphone does not include a device for fast charging (TurboCharger)

It is worth a lot of money from the best sellers, first and foremost, for a low price and high quality. The company's smartphones are still released with an original design and have a number of great features, whether it's long-lasting autonomous operation, an indestructible body, an Activity Display function, or excellent multimedia capabilities. At the same time, the retailer practically does not harm stock Android and promptly updates older models to the latest version. The Moto X Play smartphone is not a culprit of these rules.

The new product looks expensive and stylish. Much of this is due to the super clear and clear screen covered with mineral glass. The smartphone was removed from the original case with replacement back panels. The manufacturer also claims about the exciting time of autonomous robots and a functional main camera with a resolution of 21 megapixels. The device supports all current drone-free services, including LTE cat.4, dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC.

Moto X Play comes in a classic box. On the front side there is an image of the smartphone itself, and on the back side there are the main technical parameters. In the middle there is the smartphone itself, an electrical charging unit, a white USB-microUSB cable, two interchangeable panels, and a slider for the SIM card tray. Headphones or any other headset included in the daily kit.

What's included in the Moto X Play:

Holder for SIM card tray

Two interchangeable back panels

Instructions

Warranty card

The external appearance and dimensions of the Moto X Play are typical for most other tablets with a 5.5-inch screen. Prote, this is a great device for my class. Apparently, this is due to the presence of a large battery. The dimensions of the smartphone are 148x75x8.9-10.9 mm, size 169 grams.

Trimati is holding the phone in her hands. The rubberized surface of the back cover prevents the device from slipping from your hands.

When wearing a phablet in the guts of a narrow garment, the folds may become stuck. You can’t just sit down and stand up. It is necessary for a mother to have her device in order so that she does not feel restrained. Tim, in the open air there are no such peculiarities.

Design and modern look

id\u003d "sub2"\u003e

Moto X Play calls may not work on smartphones of other manufacturers. The body of the Wiconia is made of hard plastic, which sounds like metal. The material looks fine. The back of the device is curved, so the size is indicated both in the thinnest part and in the middle, where the thickening is maximum.

The back part is noticeable. The set has two additional panels. I have the black version, but the set includes blue and purple panels. The lid has a raised texture, similar in tactile feel to the rubberized surface. Because of this material, the smartphone is easy to lie in your hand and should not be taken out with wet hands.

On the back of the gadget there is a recess with the company logo placed in it. When you hold the device in your hands, your finger will fall into it, right away.

The collection is clear. In an hour of two-year testing in the core of the main phone, I did not detect any creaks in the case or gaps.

The body of the Moto X Play and its components are covered with waterproof material. The retailer declares compliance with the IP52 standard. This means that the smartphone cannot be drowned, unless the heat is strong, it must be washed quietly.

Motorola offers some countries the opportunity to customize the phone for themselves. For this you need to use the special MOTOMaker utility. You choose the color of the body, panels and design. However, this service is not available in Russia. The Moto X Play is available in two colors - white and black.

Due to the lack of placement of other elements, the entire front part of the device is occupied by a 5.5-inch touchscreen display. Above the display were located: proximity and brightness sensors, a speaker cutout and a front camera lens. There is a speaker under the screen to play calls and music. This will ensure sufficient volume of calls and system notifications that you can turn on to watch videos or listen to music. The sound is clean and good.

Along the perimeter of the front side there is a plastic side that slightly protrudes above the dry edge. It protects the screen as smudges appear. The dryness of Gorilla Glass 3 comes with a harsh oleophobic coating. Buvalshchina and brood are practically incomprehensible.

The control buttons were located on the right side, making it easier to find them easily, the tension adjustment button was smooth, and the turn-on button had vertical notches.

The phone has two microphones and a noise reduction system that improves voice transmission. The microphones are rotated at the ends. Also on the top edge of the device you can find a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and on the side there is a slot for nanoSIM-sized SIM cards and microSD memory cards. You can insert one or two SIM cards from one side of the tray, and a memory card from the other side. It’s completely handy. The microUSB connector is located at the bottom end.

On the back side of the smartphone there is a main 21 megapixel camera lens with autofocus and a LED lens. The chamber block protrudes on the surface. The area around the lens is made of local plastic. In any case, you will take the brunt of the blow and steal the lens.

Screen graphic possibilities

id\u003d "sub3"\u003e

The diagonal of the Moto X Play screen is 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels (403 ppi). The frames are tight. Screen with IPS technology.

The images are clearer and more detailed, there are no problems with different fonts. As soon as the farb is fussed, the stench is even stronger. In some places, this is tense, but the koristuvachs deserve bright pictures. I'll take a look around here as much as possible. Colors, when saturated from normal, do not bloom or change their tone. Presence of anti-glare and oleophobic coating. On the Sony screen, the display is easy to read, and fingerprints are weakly visible on the dry glass. I'll look around as much as possible.

Multi-touch technology here allows you to process 10 one-hour dots. When you bring the smartphone close to your ear, the display is blocked using a proximity sensor.

The brightness detector correctly detects the illumination, however, it may not work as smoothly as we would like. In this case, you can turn on the automation and set your own brightness option.

The screen of the Moto X Play displays even clear and on par with the shortest expressions in its class. It is comfortable to admire films, photographs, and multimedia presentations.

Hardware platform: processor, memory, speed code

id\u003d "sub4"\u003e

Moto X Play is equipped with a chip with an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939 processor (4 x Cortex-A53 1.7 GHz + 4 x Cortex-A53 1.0 GHz), Adreno 405 graphics processor. RAM 2 GB. The built-in memory in the device is 16 GB (8 GB available on request). This expansion is possible with additional microSD cards up to 128 GB.

The productivity of the vicorized chip is average. Most often, in the interface, caution is exercised against galvanization. Third-party programs open up frequently. There are improvements to the robot menu, for example, to the list of SMS or calls. About tse varto remembrance. Moto X Play is far from flagships.

The advantages of the hardware include relatively low energy consumption. This has a very positive effect on the hours of autonomous robots.

communication capabilities

id\u003d "sub5"\u003e

The smartphone supports all daily mobile communications: both 2G, 3G and 4G, including all frequencies used in Russia. The phone worked without any problems with test SIM cards from MTS, Megafon, Tele2.

The device correctly receives the signal and does not lose it for no apparent reason. Speaking on the phone is comfortable. The dynamics are high. In the galas of their minds, you can not be afraid to speak out. If you feel the scorpion, the savior will sense you.

The device has two slots for nanoSIM, but only one radio module. It is not possible to talk to two numbers at once. Obmezhennya zvichaine.

The device can be used with current, dart-free measures. Among them is dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n, Wi-Fi Direct, you can organize a drone-free access point via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels. The presence of an LTE modem and NFC. Connections to a computer are possible via an additional USB 2.0 connector.

Additional communication features include GPS, A-GPS (standard Google Maps mapping is built into the smartphone). The navigation coverage radius at the time of testing is approximately 5 meters, which is not very good. The gadget copes poorly with the role of a navigator.

triviality of robots

id\u003d "sub6"\u003e

Moto X Play has a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 3630 mAg. With the vikoristanna model, which includes almost half a day of calls per day, periodic scrolling in social networks and instant messengers, email synchronization is enabled, geolocation of your body via Wi-Fi and 10-15 photos, the smartphone works in 3 days. In the minds of the test with the number of calls 35-40 hours per day, watching Internet pages for about 2 years via 4G, listening to an mp3 player through a headset for about 2 years per day, the device was processed for about 2 days. When watching videos, the smartphone lasted 8 years, in navigator mode - about 5 years. If you use the device as a dialer, then on one charge the phone will run 5 dB, and maybe even more.

The battery life results of the Moto X Play are disappointing. This is one of the most durable devices that can be put on sale.

In addition, there is TurboCharger technology (analogous to QuickCharge from Qualcomm or Fast Adaptive Charge from Samsung), with which the battery can be fully charged in about 1 year and 20 hours. The smartphone has an energy saving mode. In this scenario, the operating hour will increase by at least 20%. In addition, you can turn on the device at night. This will also have a positive effect on the hours of autonomous robots.

Interface and operating system

id\u003d "sub7"\u003e

The smartphone runs Android 6.0 with an identical reference OS. Change the edges. The organization of the menu is essential for Android.

I can add the Activity Display function to the robot's features. It shows notifications about the current hour on the locked screen of your smartphone. For the reason why Moto X Play does not have a notification indicator on the front panel. You remove the smartphone from the bowl or take it from the table, and the hour, date and number of missed notifications appear on the display for 2-3 seconds. The function is related to the movement of the mobile phone in space. This kind of automation works, down to the word, obviously, but you can’t do without mercy requests. I deserved such a trick.

In addition to the Activity Display mode, the Moto X Play software changes from the standard Android 6 to the “Galleries”. Then there was a program for connecting with smart times and a voice assistant “Voice of Moto”, which, however, does not support Russian language.

Music and video review

id\u003d "sub8"\u003e

To create music on a smartphone, you need to use a standard programmer. If necessary, you can install any other add-on, such as Android. As a plus, I can mention the presence of a built-in FM radio add-on.

As long as there is any concern about the bitterness of the sound, then everything is in order. When paired with clear headphones, you will experience superior sound. The package does not include a headset. The 3.5 mm jack can be used for any type of headphones.

Camera and video recording

id\u003d "sub9"\u003e

Moto X Play has two cameras. Main - 21 megapixels with f/2.0 brightness (model IMX230). There it is neatly inscribed into the body, the ice rising above the surface. Underneath the lens there is a refurbished focusing system and a removable system. The camera records well, but imperfectly. When lightened, the photos come out unfiltered during the day, but the Samsung ones take much better photos. In HDR mode, photos always come out clear.

Between automatic transfer mode and manual settings. For this reason, Motorola used its proprietary camera add-on. I really didn’t deserve it. The adjustments are scanty and unreasonable from the point of view of logic. For example, while you're busy, you can't set dynamic focus. The replacement of this property before the other object is subject to seizure. Autofocus works poorly, often fails, and does not focus on the right subjects.

Maximum video brightness - FullHD, 30 frames per second. Focusing here also fails, often the picture becomes blurry when you crash the camera, because you don’t care why it’s such a mess.

The front camera is five megapixels and copes well with video calls and selfies.

pouches

id\u003d "sub10"\u003e

Incredibly, Moto X Play looks like a great option among the large number of smartphones with a 5.5-inch screen. It has a removable screen and a good camera for daylight, which allows you to take daily photos and outperform all competitors in its class. And most importantly, a long hour of work on one charge.

However, the device has some shortcomings, which include a missing chip and camera interface and even better focus.

Considering that it is possible to sell other Chinese smartphones with similar characteristics (the same), but at a lower price, buying a Moto X Play does not seem justified. The Yakbi Moto axle could be sold for as much as 25,000 rubles! Then there would be no price for you!
